Aws Appsync $util.error: data and errorInfo always

问题:

I am playing with AWS AppSync. I am trying to output some error details when the request fails using the $util.error() helper (Documented here) in my resolver's response mapping template. No matter what I do, I am not able to get AppSync to output the data and errorInfo fields in the error output.

Here is the Lambda I have.

exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {

  callback(null, {
    data: {
      name: "Test",
    },
    errorMessage: "Some error Message",
    errorType: "SomeErrorType",
    errors: {
      "foo": "bar",
      "bazz": "buzz",
    }
  })
};

As you can see, it is pretty much straight forward. I just return an object with the data, errors, errorMessage and errorType properties.

And here is my response mapping template

$utils.error($context.result.errorMessage, $context.result.errorType, $context.result.data, $context.result.errors)

Again, pretty much straight forward. I just throw an error directly using the fields coming from the Lambda.

But when I execute the query, I get this:

{
  "data": {
    "myField": null
  },
  "errors": [
    {
      "path": [
        "myField"
      ],
      "data": null,
      "errorType": "SomeErrorType",
      "errorInfo": null,
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 2,
          "column": 3,
          "sourceName": null
        }
      ],
      "message": "Some error Message"
    }
  ]
}

As you can see, the errorType and message fields get populated correctly, but not the errorInfo and data ones.

Am I missing something? Why isn't this working ?

I also tried hardcoding the parameters of $util.error in the template. I got the same result...

As the documentation states, Note: data will be filtered based on the query selection set. So you need to return data that matches the selection set.

So, for a basic schema that looks like:

type Post {
    id: ID!
    title: String! 
}

type Query {
    simpleQuery: Post
}

schema {
    query: Query
}

And a query:

query {
  simpleQuery {
    title   // Note this selection set
  }
}

And a response mapping template:

$utils.error($context.result.errorMessage, $context.result.errorType, $context.result.data, $context.result.errors)

With a Lambda code:

exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {

  callback(null, {
    data: {
      title: "Test",   // The same selection set
    },
    errorMessage: "Some error Message",
    errorType: "SomeErrorType",
    errors: {
      "foo": "bar",
      "bazz": "buzz",
    }
  })
};

It will return:

{
  "data": {
    "badOne": null
  },
  "errors": [
    {
      "path": [
        "badOne"
      ],
      "data": {
        "title": "Test"
      },
      "errorType": "SomeErrorType",
      "errorInfo": null,
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 8,
          "column": 3,
          "sourceName": null
        }
      ],
      "message": "Some error Message"
    }
  ]
}

For the errorInfo, you will need to update the template version to 2018-05-29. See my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53495843/2724342
